Sean Hopkins Review of Camp Lohikan
This will be my 5th year working at Camp Lohikan. ...
This will be my 5th year working at Camp Lohikan. I have to say that from the moment that I was hired to work here the staff made me feel right at home. This place has now become my home away from home. I have met some of the greatest individuals that remain awesome friends even across oceans. The experience of working with so many people from all over the world is probably only matched by the cruise-line industry. In my time at Lohikan I have grown as both and individual and a professional . I have learned skills, techniques and philosophies from the most random of wise minds.
If you are wanting to break out and be free in an environment that is loving and open to various cultures this is the place to do it.
THAT BEING SAID- I wont say that the entire summer is all peaches and cream. There will be times where you say "why am I here?". You will be Hot, You will be tired, you will be mad,sad,an angry. That's ALL a part of working somewhere. Anytime you take 700+ people and keep them in ONE area emotions can be tense.
Yes people come and have a bad time...Unfortunately, not everything is for everyone. Working at a summer camp is hard work. - IT BUILDS CHARACTER!!! :)
I tell new staff this every year " The summer is what you make it" On one hand- If you come looking for a good time, wanting to make friends and open to experiencing new things---you'll have a blast!.
On the other hand- If you come with a negative attitude.... you'll have a negative summer. In an environment such as camp, an upbeat demeanor really makes all the difference.
HAPPY STAFF= HAPPY CAMPERS :)
If you can push through the lack of electronics and a bit of sweat on your brow, you are in for a summer filled with the craziest memories. Each day that I wake up at camp I can trust I'm in for something crazy in my day. Whether its TACO TUESDAYS or a crazy skit written by a bunch of campers. This place has it all.
